As a young organization, we hope that Heartland Service Dogs will grow to be a respected part of our community. With your help, we can make a difference in someone's life. For our volunteers and supporters it is exciting to watch as each new team steps out and embraces their new-found independence.

Brecca

Brecca is a labradoodle that came to us from our colleagues at Genesis Service Dogs. She and her sister Shay were the first two dogs in our program. Shay is a stay-at-home service dog and Brecca is an on the go gal around town working as a hearing dog for her partner Richard.

Seamus

Another puppy donated to us (along with his brother) from Genesis Service Dogs.

Being hard of hearing, I miss a lot of the sounds most people take for granted. Seamus and I are working together so he can alert me to what I miss....phones ringing, sirens sounding, buzzers and someone knocking at the door. Imagine waiting for a service to show up, only to find out he was at the door 2 hours earlier and you couldn't hear the knock on the door. Not anymore......now I find out when the paper gets delivered! Seamus loves to work and he's very eager to please. How lucky I am to have him! --Annabelle

​Kavin

Part of the fabulous St. Patty's Day litter from Genesis Service Dogs. Four of the 6 pups are working dogs. Kavin is working for Joy as a mobility assistance dog.

Drifter

An update to friends and volunteers: Drifter is being retired as a Heartland service dog due to an unforeseen medical issue. At the request of his partner, Amanda, he will remain with her to live out his life as a pet. They will always be part of our family.

Crew

Crew and his brother were donated by the Busby family. Each of the boys have sired pups for us. Crew continued on in training to become a PTSD dog for an Army veteran. They are completing their final phase of training.
